"Nintendo are different"

I’m happy I’m feeling glad, just shot odd job in the nads,
I’m useless but not for long, because I just got the golden gun!

Ahh yes Goldeneye, what a special game that was, hundreds of rhymes even more screams of “oh I thought I killed you”, It was a very special game and apparently saved Nintendo in this country! I disagree, it did help but what saved Nintendo was their unique way of advertising, those four sockets in front of their machine!

Goldeneye’s most happening feature was the multiplayer, which is what the N64 was designed for. This is what saved Nintendo due to the Nintendo spread. A group of 6 Playstation fans and 1 N64 fan, this 1 N64 fan would invite his group round for a multiplayer game on Goldeneye (Mario Kart is equally popular), 2 of these friends will fall in love with the heated multiplayer games and buy an N64, these two happen to be involved with a different group and they get introduced to Nintendo and so on!

They say Nintendo don’t advertise well (but find me 1 person who doesn’t know about Pokémon) but it’s their system that has kept them alive. This Time Nintendo have another plan, as long as the Gamecube seems like an essential to the Gameboy Advanced then it will sell well. Again this has little to do with advertisement it is simply the way Nintendo have manipulated their system!

They say Nintendo did badly but only in comparison to the Playstation, they sold more than the SNES and unlike systems such as the Saturn and the Phillips CDi they didn’t go belly up! Nintendo’s ability to advertise is vastly underestimated and their own way of doing things will, one day pay off.

Here’s to the future

what?????? They sold double Gold and silver games than red and blue! Nintendo sold 532,000 GBA's in Japan in 4 days!!!!!!! PS2 sold 70,000 proof the GBA is selling more so if the GC is seen as essential the GC will rule and that is why Nintendo will advertise well!

Dringo

indeed they can

ninty dont even need the Gamecube to do all that well. It can live off all the rofits the GBA is making.

it is dying down,what r u on about,Nintendo had cluttered the market.

i cant see nintendo's profits going down with the mad sales of the GBA. 500,000 sales in its first week in the USA. they reckon they shift 23mil of them by march 2002.

Wrong wilmaaaa whatever, Nintendo amde most of their money buy the games and now they are selling more Pokemon games than ever!!!!!!! and Pokemon world will sell even more!

That waswhen pokemon was at its peak,it is slowly dying down now and about time too

well yeah sony have a bigger market share but Nintendo made the biggest profit in the last year.

I bet sony make roughly the same amount of money as NIntendo,if yu look in mcv and Tony will know what it is,it is a trade paper and it shows the software market and i think sony have about 70 odd % compared to sega and nintendo

Nintendo have the biggest selling Console in the world they have sooooooo much especially with their reacent 72% profit increase!
